Friends, please lend me your ears...

Just remember, if the Warriors look bad tomorrow, or even God forbid lose, it's not cause Wojo sucks or the players suck.

It's because progress isn't always a straight line.  Just be level-headed.

[tower912]

Amen and alleluia.   And yes, there is most definitely progress.

We need a win tomorrow, would be big

Beat me to it.



There's rocks, there's trees, there's birds, there's squirrels.  Come on, we'll bless them all until we get fahschnickered.

Damnit, I wanted to post this.

Severely underrated.

  Yep, it's truly good to know your neighborhood. Well stated.

Awfully nice bridge for a troll.

But this is the Scoop. No you cannot have my ears

Hell yeah!

The trend line is up

Might be choppy game over game, but the y-o-y comps all show green arrows up

Namaste

As long as its a W, I don't care. If its a loss, its not gonna be good either obviously. It wont be the end of the season, but it makes it tougher to gauge progress if its "2 steps forward,1.5 steps back" with this team.

Sound advice. Hopefully Wojo and the fella's keep moving forward and stringing some wins together,

Well, we really had to figure out if she was a witch

Frankly, having taken down the defending national champs I am feeling my inner Redhawk. Nothing less than continued success will suffice.

You are operating under the assumption that those most likely to make knee-jerk declarations on the basis of one game have never stopped believing that Wojo sucks and/or that certain players suck.

To them, MU could go undefeated through the national semifinals but a 1-point loss in the title game will prove that Wojo is incapable of gaining a "signature" victory.

Lets rip their heads off and piss down their throats...nothing less.

I will say one thing.... if they completely destroy PC, I will strongly, nay insistingly, recommend that all MU fans clear their weekends in March.  Actual, authentic, and authoritative confidence is the one thing that can take a middling team and turn it into a powerhouse. 

This team has all of the pieces of a Final Four team and each of those pieces has the requisite talent.  What separates them from a Villanova or Kentucky is not experience or performance, it's leadership and confidence (which go hand-in-hand).  Lack of confidence causes turnovers.  Lack of confidence permits bad shots.  Lack of confidence leads to poor decision-making.  Lack of confidence delays proper positioning and slows your defense.  Lack of confidence causes bad fouls.

In other words, confidence is the difference between a dominating performance against an inferior team on Saturday and having omelettes for breakfast on Sunday.  If all of Marquette's woes can be cured with confidence, back-to-back wins against Cray-town and Nova may very well be a miracle drug.  Put their boot on PC's neck tomorrow, then run through Derp and SJU, and they'll pretty much be addicts.

Or not.  Whatever.  Let's get drunk.  Wooooo!

...and currently ranked 1.
Btw, what part of your body is your inner Redhawk that you are feeling?

Betya a bag of Bat guano the MUpooperscoopers will be out in force.

If MU loses, just look at their 3FG shooting

This kind of goes hand-in-hand with hilltopper's' "different landscape in 18 days" post.

It was barely a wink ago that some Scoopers were saying we were still years away from an NCAA bid and that we might as well fire Wojo now. And now apparently Wojo should be fired if he doesn't get to the Final Four this year!
